If you're wondering why Christopher Walken is the Emperor, check out the OG music video for Fatboy Slim's 'Weapon of Choice'.

2025-09-11 07:39:27 +0000 UTCReverend Mothers can access the memories of all their female ancestors. The goal with the Kwisatz Haderach, a 10.000 year long program of breeding, is to create a male Reverend Mother that can access both. So an example is that Paul knew about the Baron, because he could access his memories.

2025-09-02 20:08:32 +0000 UTCIn the books, the stuff that comes from drowning a baby worm is called "The Water of Death". It comes from the death of a worm, of their god. A reverend mother creates a counter-agent that transforms it into "The Water of Life". Which is then taken by the Sietch and makes them all really high and often quite horny.

2025-09-02 19:12:45 +0000 UTCI love this series the further I get into it. The 'religion is dangerous and bad' lesson gets more and more on the nose, which is FUN, but the world itself is also rich and vibrant and not afraid to be outright alien

In the books, the worms are described as having segmented, overlapping plates as part of their hide (something like a snake's scales or maybe an armadillo or pangolin), and the hooks catch on the fine edges between them, pulling them open which lets sand start abrading at the more sensitive exposed flesh underneath. To relieve the irritation, the sandworm A) moves to keep the the exposed area above the sand and B) rolls to keep it as high off the ground level as possible. Repositioning the hooks to make them roll is how you get the worm to turn and steer it.

2025-08-26 11:59:35 +0000 UTCSand worm, i haven't read the books or anything but as i understand it the holes in the worm are how it breathes so the fremen pulling the flaps up forces the worm to surface from the sand so to not breathe in all that sand. That would also imply it has that all over its body and can breathe through whatever part of it is above the sand.

2025-08-23 15:02:38 +0000 UTCIn the book, when Feyd-Rautha bombs SietchTabr, Chani and Paul already have a child, Leto. The baby dies in the bombing, and his death is part of what drives Paul to stop resisting the vision. The Harkonnens took his father, took friends, and once they took his child, Paul had enough of being the better man.

2025-08-23 06:12:20 +0000 UTCPaul’s goal was never to save the Fremen; it was to avenge House Atreides and destroy their enemies. The only reason he even wanted to integrate with the Fremen in the first place is because he knew they could help him get back at the Harkonnens.

2025-08-23 04:20:47 +0000 UTCSo those skin flaps with weird nostrils on the sandworms are used to collect and filter the sand they dig through, passively supplying the worms with enough clean groundwater to maintain themselves, grow bigger, and continue digging until they die. Also that massive sandworm Paul was riding wasn’t special or anything; there are hundreds of thousands of fully mature sandworms on Arrakis at any given moment and most of them grow that big towards the end of their lifecycle. It’s just that riding those elder sandworms is normally only done by highly skilled and experienced Fremen warriors, not by foreign teenagers on their first try.

2025-08-23 01:42:40 +0000 UTCI remember reading the book, and seeing the notes of the Princess before each chapter, giving clues of what awaits and how Paul is seen, along other characters, like Dr. Yueh and the fate of the Princess in essence, being the author of Paul's Bible.

2025-08-22 20:38:40 +0000 UTCYour fear of a bad sequel isn't possible: 1. Becasue it's a Denis Villenueve movie, might not be your cup of tea, but he always makes an amazing movie. 2. It's the continuation of the first books story, so if you loved the first half of the story, you're gonna love the 2nd half. Dune is one of the best if not the best Scifi series, only series close to it in my personal opinion, would be The Expanse.

2025-08-22 15:41:39 +0000 UTCThey also left out a line from Paul talking with the princess. After saying that he would marry her to become legitimate emperor he makes it clear that he would never love her, they would never share a bed, she will never have his children or any children for that matter and she should really get used to writing books because that would be her entire legacy. But if he said that then Chani couldn't throw a girl boss temper tantrum and storm off like an angry teenager.

2025-08-22 15:23:13 +0000 UTCI've never read the books but apparently they left out some dialogue at the end. Paul's mom talks to Chani and tells her that it's a political marriage but the concubines wield the real power. Having been a concubine herself who gave birth to Paul she knows what she's talking about.
